Read and you will save hours of painstaking cleaning.<br /><br />Take a jug of hot water and add a little shampoo to it. Stir to mix. Soak the combs and brushes in this solution overnight and the next day give them a vigorous shake in the solution.<br /><br />Unless the combs are excessively dirty, they will come clean and looking like new.<br /><br />If some residue remains on the combs just go over them with an old toothbrush and shake in the shampoo solution again. Rinse with plain water.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8008033183609320116-2172755073369181130?l=cleaningideas.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shiahshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06517524068279420673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008033183609320116.post-86219669467446118752007-04-15T12:24:00.000-07:002007-04-15T12:26:59.044-07:00This is a traditional method used in many homes for cleaning metals like stainless steel and brass.<br /><br />Take half a lemon and dip it in soda-bi-carb. Scrub your metal object with this, dipping the lemon into soda-bi-carb as and when required. Rinse with plain water. Polish with a soft cloth. This method leaves the metals sparkling.<br /><br />N.B. Please don't use this method on aluminum objects. Aluminum seems to get tarnished with the use of lemon.<br /><br />Another product with absolutely amazing results with stainless steel is toothpaste. Put a blob of toothpaste on a scrub and go ever the stainless steel object with it. Rinse with plain water and buff with a dish cloth. See the stainless less steel sparkle.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8008033183609320116-8621966946744611875?l=cleaningideas.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shiahshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06517524068279420673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008033183609320116.post-65976108477199661182007-04-15T12:19:00.000-07:002007-04-15T12:23:01.755-07:00This is a simple and environment friendly method. It is highly effective and helps prevent the use of expensive store-bought chemicals. Moreover, using this solution every two to three months prevents drains from clogging in the future.<br /><br />To unclog a sink first block the overflow vent and use a plunger to loosen and remove as much of the block as possible.<br /><br />Then pour a few tablespoons of soda-bi-carb into the blocked drain followed by boiling hot water. Allow the soda-bi-carb to work on the blocked drain for a few minutes then flush with boiling water. Most blocked drains get unblocked using this method.<br /><br />N.B. Please be careful when pouring hot water onto the soda-bi-carb. It tends to froth and spurt.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8008033183609320116-6597610847719966118?l=cleaningideas.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shiahshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06517524068279420673noreply@blogger.com0
